Was I cheeky?

[CC4712]

1st world issue I know and it might be my pre menstrual self being annoyed more than normal. I was at Dunelm paying at the counter- not a supermarket conveyer type where you line up behind each other. I was putting card details in when a women came and stood right next to me and plonked her things on the counter also. I had to say 'excuse me' to lean over her to get my items off the counter. She didn't move back nor say anything.

I said to her 'most people would wait until the counter was clear before putting their own things down!' I was moving things into to my trolley, got my receipt and card. As I walked out- she said to the lady serving- well she was cheeky! Was I, or was she just rude?

She was rude and will already have forgotten about it. So you shouldn't give her another second's headspace.

What a cheeky woman !

Six of one, half a dozen of the other.

Can we have a diagram please?

She put her stuff in-between you and your stuff?

She was rude. You hadn't finished at the counter, she waits her turn.

She was rude imo

Since COVID and likely before, it's just a thing to stand back until person ahead has cleared, especially in places like Dunelm. Don't give her a second thought, that was unusual behaviour from her, judging by my locals standards.

You mean like a long counter where they have several tills and cashiers working along it? And one queue where you wait to see who is available next?

I can't imagine walking forward and putting my stuff on a counter like that before the person before me has paid and left. She was being weird. That's just not how they work.

Exactly this scenario. There was no queue, I was the only one at the counter, and the woman behind didn't wait in the queue area. She came straight to the counter I was being served at- whilst I was still being served.
